I simply save my FF bookmarks without the need for another app: I just use this function and receive a .json file that I can then use to restore my bookmarks, or apply them to another computer:

If I was only saving the bookmarks, I would do that. But MozBackup saves the entire configuration, including cookies and saved passwords. So if I need to reinstall FF for whatever reason, I restore the backup and it's back to "normal".

Yeah, but I make it a point to only browse, without exception, porn related sites in private/incognito mode: I do this to avoid having any cookies and passwords (as well as any potential malaware) from those sites on my machine.

In any case, I retain a text file of all my 'legit' websites' passwords, just in case anything goes wrong.

What I do is, I setup the Sync function in Firefox. This way I can restate all my bookmarks, plugins, open tabs and passwords on another machine. Usually in different Virtual Machines (Linux & Win7) that I use on my main PC (Win10). (I'm writing this on a LinuxMint VM)

But I also do so on my mother's laptop in an account I created for myself, as I find is is way better to fix any problems when I actually have access to all my bookmarks.

As far as I'm aware you can do the same in Chrome but you have to "sign in". (I haven't tried yet)
